Come along on a grand tour of your immune system. Bask in the Desert Kingdom of the Skin, snorkel in the Mucosal Swamp, and visit the Murder University of the Thymus. Race long-distance with billions of blood cells, watch the slow dance of antigen presentation, and meet trillions of new friends (your commensal organisms.) Find out what keeps you alive in the face of plentiful pathogens - and what happens when it all goes wrong. Main text: Immune by Phillip Dettmer.
